Moonstruck
Cher, Nicolas Cage
MGM (Video & DVD), 1998
Classic film stands up 21 years later
I have always loved this film. This has not changed in the years since it was released.
I have a question for the film makers. Why did it take until 2006 until this wide screen edition of the film was available? New York City is a character in the film. ...

Joan of Arc
Leelee Sobieski, Jacqueline Bisset
Lions Gate, 2001
The best Joan of Arc movie choice
If you are looking for a roller coaster ride with popcorn, watch the Messenger, which isn't a bad movie but a wildly innacurate one. If you want to see a film that blends history with action, "Joan of Arc" is your movie. Not perfect, but far more realistic, with Leelee ...

Steel Magnolias (Special Edition)
Sally Field, Dolly Parton
Sony Pictures, 2000
Girl's Club in Louisiana
At the moment I can think of no other film featuring four academy award winning actresses, and Darryl Hannah and Dolly Parton hold up well in this ensemble featuring Oscar-winners Julia Roberts, Sally Field, Olympia Dukakis and Shirley Maclaine.
Steel Magnolias is ...

Away from Her
Julie Christie, Gordon Pinsent
Lions Gate, 2007
Gentle, Moving Film About Dementia
I thought this movie was very nice about a husband who is slowly losing his wife to Alzheimer's Disease. It presents the decline of the wife to the point that she needs to go into an assisted living facility as we would call them in the US. The wife slowly declines ...

Mr. Holland's Opus is a great movie. I have watched it several times and I will keep watching it. It has so much meaning and caring and Richard Dreyfuss did a great job.

The Librarian - Quest for the Spear

Turner Home Ent, 2005
I have no idea why I like this movie so much
Me and my girlfriend rented this movie out of boredom (the new Indiana Jones movie was coming out so we wanted to refresh our memories of the first ones but our movie rental place didn't have them all so our friend who works there recommended this saying it was ...

The Last of the Blonde Bombshells
Judi Dench, Ian Holm
Hbo Home Video, 2001
The Last of the Blonde Bombshells DVD
I received the DVD The Last of the Blonde Bombshells as a gift and since have ordered 2 as gifts. The response has been terrific! You don't have to be a Judi Dench fan to thoroughly enjoy this delightful period story.

Ann Rule's And Never Let Her Go
Gene Dinovi, Olympia Dukakis
Rhi Entertainment, 2007
If you love Mark...
If you love Mark Harmon you really need to watch this. If Tom Capano was anything like Mark I would have fallen for his lies too. This is a heartbreaking true story of a young woman who falls for the wrong man, and unfortunately in this case the cost was her life.

Look Who's Talking Now
John Travolta, Kirstie Alley
Sony Pictures, 2002
Hilarious!
For a while HBO would show this movie 4 or 5 times a day, but I could never resist watching it again and again whenever I came across it. John Travolta and Kirstie Alley are so endearing, and the kids are hilarious. Anyone who has siblings can understand the hilarity ...

Further Tales of the City.
Olympia Dukakis, Paul Hopkins
Showtime Ent., 2002
The newspaper, the books and the TV show
When you think that Tales of the City led to national outrage in the US when it first aired on PBS in 1994, you almost don't believe it. Much has changed since then and part of that change must be credited to Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City; indeed, it paved the ...

Dad
Jack Lemmon, Ted Danson
Universal Studios, 2005
One of the most wonderful movies ever.
If many of my other reviews have been read, then it is recognized that I can be quite verbose and sometimes eloquent.
This review requires neither (though is worthy of both)... but the title speaks volumes. DAD truly is one of the most wonderful movies that I have ...
